The Front-End Group had a fruitful day at the VLA...
We installed the wideband EVLA L-Band prototype receiver on Antenna 14.
It is cooling well and is connected to the LO/IF Rack. It will have
somewhat different power levels than the previous interim receiver and
the old Tcals will be incorrect but it should still be gathering useful
photons.
The L-Band (S/N 32) that was on Antenna 14 was relocated to Antenna 26.
An X-Band receiver (S/N 6) was also installed on 26. Neither are cooling
as the compressors have not yet been powered up.
The X-Band on Antenna 23 that had been causing numerous complaints about
low power has been removed. S/N 16 has been replaced by S/N 21. Tcals to
come later.
